CIVIL ACTION COMPLAINT
MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT
1. Plaintiff Kinard Trucking, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Plaintiff' or "Kinard")
is a corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that provides
general trucking services throughout numerous states including the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, with a principal place of business located at 310 North Zarfoss Drive, York,
Pennsylvania 17404.
2. Defendant Martini, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Martini") is a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that provides truck
load carrier, freight carrier, and/or general trucking services throughout numerous states,
including the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, having its principal place of business address
located at 46 South Hunter Highway, Drums, PA 18222.
3. Defendant Earnest D. Compton (herein referred to as "Compton") is an adult
individual who at all times relevant hereto is believed to be a citizen of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania with an address of 66AA RR2, New Milford, PA 18834.
4. Jurisdiction and venue are proper in Cumberland County because all relevant
actions and/or omissions giving rise to this litigation occurred in Southampton Township,
Cumberland County, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
5. At all times relevant, Kinard was the owner of a 2001 Kenworth tractor trailer
model T600B with a VIN number of 1XKADR9X41J869360.
6. At all times relevant, Defendant Martini, Inc. was the owner of a tractor trailer,
believed to be a 2006 Kenworth, model T600 with a VIN number of 1XKAD49X76J161324, and
with a Pennsylvania license plate of AE47203.
7. On or about January 29, 2008 and at approximately 11:50 p.m., Kinard's
employee, Seth W. Felty, was operating the aforesaid 2001 Kenworth T600B tractor trailer
traveling in a northerly direction on Interstate Route 81 in or around Southampton Township, in
the County of Cumberland, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
8. At the same date and time, Defendant Martini's agent and/or employee, Compton,
was operating Defendant Martini's aforesaid 2006 Kenworth T600 tractor trailer traveling in a
-2-
northerly direction on Interstate Route 81 in or around Southampton Township, in the County of
Cumberland, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
9. At all times material hereto, on or about January 29, 2008 and at approximately
11:50 p.m., the roadway was wet due to the reported "rain and fog" weather conditions, and the
two northbound lanes of Interstate Route 81 were not illuminated by street lights resulting in
dark, foggy, and wet roadway conditions.
10. While operating Defendant Martini's 2006 Kenworth T600 tractor trailer in a
northerly direction on Interstate Route 81 in Southampton Township, Defendant Compton
negligently or recklessly, and without warning, traveled off of the roadway and on to the median,
lost complete control of the vehicle then attempted to reenter the roadway, which caused the
tractor trailer to overturn and flip on its side, completely obstructing both northbound lanes of
travel on Interstate Route 81 resulting in a highly dangerous condition for all northbound
motorists approaching this area.
11. Kinard's vehicle struck the overturned Defendant Martini's tractor trailer and was
forced off the road as the overturned Martini tractor trailer completely blocked both northbound
lanes of travel.
12. As a direct result of the negligence or recklessness of Defendant Martini's agent
and/or employee Defendant Compton, a total of four commercial trucks and/or tractor trailers
struck the overturned Defendants' tractor trailer, resulting in a five tractor trailer pile-up.
13. The aforesaid occurrence was caused solely by the negligence of the Defendant
Compton and Defendant Martini, by and through its agent and/or employee Compton.
-3-
14. On or about June 11, 2008, Defendant Compton was found guilty for "driving too
fast for conditions," as charged under citation number Q0359799-6, and for "disregard of a
traffic lane," as charged under citation number Q0359800-0.
15. The negligence of Defendants Compton and Martini, by and through its agent
and/or employee Compton, individually, were the direct and proximate cause of the property
damage to Kinard's tractor trailer and other related expenses in the amount of $38,740.00.
COUNTI

16. Kinard incorporates by reference the allegations of paragraphs 1 through 15 above
as though same were set forth herein and at length.
17. Defendants Compton and Martini, Inc., by and through its agent and/or employee

Seth W. Felty, which included using due care at all times while operating the 2006 Kenworth
T600 tractor trailer and preventing a dangerous condition that could cause property damage to
Kinard's property.
18. Defendants Compton and Martini, by and through its agent and/or employee
Compton, negligently and/or recklessly breached their duty of care due to the following actions
and omissions:
(a) Failing to use due care at all times while operating the 2006 Kenworth

(b) Operating the tractor trailer vehicle without due regard for the rights,
safety and position of Kinard's tractor trailer;

obstruction of both northbound lanes of Interstate Route 81.
19. The negligence of Defendants Compton and Martini, by and through its agent
and/or employee Compton, individually, were the direct and proximate cause of the property
damage to Kinard's tractor trailer and other expenses in the amount of $38,740.00.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Kinard Trucking, Inc., hereby demands judgment in its favor
and against Defendant Martini, Inc. and Defendant Earnest D. Compton for damages and losses

(Negligence-Respondeat Superior)
20. Kinard incorporates by reference the allegations of paragraphs 1 through 19 above

omissions of Defendant Compton, including the accident that caused the damages to Kinard's
property and additional expenses associated therewith.

TRUCK LINES, INC.'s MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE
AND NOW, this day of December, 2011, come the Defendants, Dale Cooper
and McElroy Truck Lines, Inc., by and through his undersigned attorneys, Johnson, Duffle,
Stewart & Weidner, P.C., and files the following Motion for Status Conference and in support
thereof avers as follows:
1. The captioned matter has been consolidated by the Honorable Albert Masland
with the matter docketed to 10-677.
2. Both actions are negligence property damage claims arising out of the same
motor vehicle accident that occurred on January 29, 2008, on northbound Interstate 1-81.
3. Some of the parties involved in both actions have served written discovery on the
other parties of record, however it has proven difficult to put together a concerted plan for
discovery without Court intervention.
4. The Moving Defendant submits that at this point in the litigation the Plaintiffs
have had an ample opportunity to conclude their investigation into their own claims and be in a
position to finalize the supporting testimony, experts and documentation to support those claims
and therefore move the matter toward resolution.
5. A status conference is requested to set these deadlines for fact discovery, expert
discovery and a deadline to list the matters for an arbitration hearing.
6. The Honorable Albert Masland has previously ruled on a Motion to Consolidate
these matters.
7. Counsel for all parties have been notified of the filing the instant Motion.
WHEREFORE, the Defendants, Dale Cooper and McElroy Truck Lines, Inc., respectfully
requests that this Honorable Court enter an Order scheduling a Status Conference.
